Statement: Children love ice cream. Conclusions: I. Ice cream is the only thing children love. II. Some children may dislike ice cream. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Statement: Children love ice cream. Conclusions: I. Ice cream is the only thing children love. II. Some children may dislike ice cream.
A. Only II follows
B. Only I follows
C. Both I and II follow
D. Neither I nor II follows
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
I is too absolute. II contradicts the statement; 'children love ice cream' as a general statement doesn't allow 'some may dislike' if it's a universal claim. If it's taken as all children, then II contradicts; if it's a generic statement, II still cannot be deduced. Typically in reasoning, such a statement means 'all children', so II does not follow. Neither follows.
